MOBILE, Alabama -- Beginning in late May, visitors to Dauphin Island’s centrally located public beach on the Gulf of Mexico will be charged a fee for access.
The fees:
Children age 12 and younger will get in free, according to Matthew Capps, executive director of the three-member Dauphin Island Park and Beach Board.
The beach will be the second on the island to charge admission.
Once Memorial Day weekend arrives, plans call for the beach to be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., Capps said. He added that a vendor is expected to contract with the board to provide a water slide, concessions and beach rentals.
No lifeguards will be on duty. Signs are posted to swim at your own risk.
In recent months, the beach board spent about $50,000 to renovate and spruce up the parking lot. When the project is complete, Capps said, the number of parking spaces will double, from 150 to about 300.
“I’m expecting it to be a new experience for beach-going visitors,” Capps said, adding that he hopes it will become more family friendly.
“A lot of people come in to look at the sunset,” he said. “That’s part of coming to the beach.”
The new fees will help maintain amenities such as restrooms, a boardwalk, pavilions, picnic tables and trash receptacles. It will also be spent, board members said, to fund ongoing beach renourishment efforts.
Members of the park and beach board are appointed by the Mobile County Commission.
The town of Dauphin Island, which owns a beach on the west end of the barrier island, does not own or operate the public beach off Bienville Boulevard.
Dauphin Island’s west-end beach opened last month for weekend visitors between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. through the end of April.
Starting in May, access to the west-end beach will be available daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The fee is $2 per car to park, and $3 per visitor for those older than 12. Children age 12 and under are admitted free.

We are receiving proxy/ballots, questionnaires, and dues payments at a steady rate. So far we have just under 600 accepted ballots, and given last year's over 800 responses, we expect to receive many more. We will continue to process mail-in proxy/ballots up until Friday May 11, so please allow enough time for your response to arrive by mail.

Also, the Election Oversight Team would like to make the following plea: Unless you have a special need to vote in person at the meeting, please mail your proxy/ballot in. We ask this only to avoid delays at the annual meeting. It will take time to process the proxy/ballots and if there are a large number presented, it could delay the announcement of the results for as much as an hour or more.
If any member has a large number of proxies to present in person, please contact us so that we can make an arrangement to process them in advance.
For those who -even in consideration of the above plea-plan to vote in person at the meeting, please be prepared to provide a proper ID and your Dauphin Island property address, and come early. If you are a new owner, some documentation of your ownership would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for your response, and your consideration of our request to mail in your proxy/ballot rather than voting in person at the meeting. We continue to expect a high election participation and we want every vote to count.

Dauphin Island Property Owners' Assoc.March 17, 2012
TO: The DIPOA Property Owners
URGENT: Deadline is April 5, 2012. Your comments are needed!
Recently, the Corps of Engineers issued a Public Notice addressing a permit request by the Town of Dauphin Island to restore the eroded shoreline of the island's West End. The proposed Town project would place 3,590,000 cubic yards of sand along 4.25 miles of the Island's shoreline (both above and below the mean low tide line) from about 450 feet east of the P&BB fishing pier to a point 1,300 feet west of the Public Beach at the end of Bienville Boulevard. The Public Notice is an important announcement since it represents the initial step in the Town's efforts to seek a Corps permit to allow the proposed project to be built. The public has a 30-day window (starting from March 6, 2012)to provide comments.
The purpose of this letter is to request you to submit comments in support of the Town's request for a permit. This action should be of particular interest to all Gulf front property owners on the island's West End. Attached for your information is the narrative portion of the Corps Public Notice describing the proposed shoreline restoration project. You can view the entire Public Notice with drawings, etc. by accessing the following website: http://www.sam.usace.army.mil/rd/reg/PN/currentPNs/SAM-2011-01000-GAC.pdf
As you respond to the Public Notice's request for comments, it is important for you to know that the Town does not presently have the funding required for construction to begin. The present permit request represents part of the overall strategy the Town is pursuing to place the shoreline restoration project in the best position possible for construction to begin quickly when funding is obtained. In 2011, the Town completed a $1.9 million study that developed the engineering and design information needed for construction. Obtaining the Corps permit will place the Town even closer to construction when a funding source is eventually identified.
As a consequence of the BP oil spill, two potential funding sources are developing that could be used to implement the proposed shoreline restoration project. The first source involves $1 billion of Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) monies that will be used to construct a variety of coastal restoration projects in the five states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. The NRDA money has already been provided by BP and we are waiting to see if a shoreline restoration project for Dauphin Island will be funded from those funds. The second source involves the use of the BP fine monies that will be paid to the United States government. Present language included in the Transportation Bill now being considered by Congress would require that 80 percent (the percentage presently proposed in the bill) of the fine be directed to the five Gulf coastal states that suffered the direct effects of the oil spill. All that is needed now is for the two houses of Congress to agree on reconciliation language so that the bill can be forwarded to the President to sign it into law. Hopefully, one or both of these potential funding sources will soon materialize so that construction of the much needed shoreline restoration project can begin.
Please send your comments in support of this permit request within the required timeframe. Correspondence related to the permit should refer to Public Notice Number SAM-2011-01000-GAC and should be directed to:
DISTRICT COMMANDERU.S. Army Engineering District, MobilePost Office Box 2288Mobile, Alabama 36628-0001Attention: Regulatory Division
with a copy also being sent to:
Alabama Department of Environment Management4171 Commanders DriveMobile, Alabama 36615.
The support of every property owner for the Town's permit request is important.

This is my Friday memo which is going out this week - today, Monday. We have really been busy at the GulfView Grill, the golf course and the club house this past week.
The Shrimp Boil and Gumbo party last Friday night was an overwhelming success. We had nearly 225 people come through the door. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We were so "slammed" the only problem we had was not having enough chairs and tables for everyone. Folks seemed to take it all in good humor. I do apologize to anyone who had to search for a perch. It was really great to see the Wheel Room full of people having a good time.
On Saturday night an island couple had a birthday party club house on the bottom floor with a huge crawfish boil outside in the sandy area. They too had a great time.
If anyone is thinking about a private party, a wedding, a reunion or any kind of gathering and would like to rent the club house, call the Pro Shop at 861-2433.
Play on the golf course is becoming more active. Yesterday, Sunday March 4, was one of the busiest days for golfers since the volunteers took over the operation of the facility.
The 14th annual Dauphin Island Boy Scouts Golf Tournament will be on Saturday, March 31. This is a fund raiser for Troop 5 on the island. Call for reservations with your team of 4, or individuals can sign up and will be placed on a team. Entry fee is $40 per person. Call the Pro Shop 861-2433, or call Scout Master Jeff Caldwell at 786-1000. Lunch will be provided. Shotgun start at 12:30 for the 18 hole tourney. Prizes will be awarded. This is a great golfing event for a good cause.
Shirley Robinson, Pat Hibbert, Joy Black and Nancy Schmall have organized the annual "Hit and Giggle" 9 hole event this Wednesday, March 7. Gather for coffee and donuts in the grill at 9:30 and tee off at 10 am. Lunch will follow at Shirley's house when everyone is finished play. Prizes will be awarded at lunch. If you are one of the old "Hit and Giggle" players and have not checked in, please call Shirley at 861-2007, or the Pro Shop 861-2433 BEFORE NOON ON TUESDAY and make reservations.
The DIPOA newsletter preceding the annual meeting in May will be going out soon. The mailing will include ballots and information for the election of board of directors' positions open for the next fiscal year. I want to personally thank those individual who have offered their names for the four (4) positions which are open. On the ballot will be: Sally Acuff, Virginia Bratt, Tom Brennan, Glenn Coffee, Lynn Howes, Brian Hunt, Carol Merkel, David Meyer, Jay Minus and (myself), Jack L. Gaines II.
The March Board of Directors' Meeting will be Thursday, March 22 at 6:30pm in the Isle Dauphine Club House. "All property owners welcome".
The Cabana, at the Isle Dauphine pool area, will have this year's grand opening on St. Patrick's Day, Saturday, March 17. Live entertainment will feature C.C. Lewis and the Midnight Groovers. The band will start at 5 o'clock. Refreshments are available. The near-by beach and gathering by the pool will be fun for the entire family. A $5 cover will be charged.
The volunteers are "hanging in there!" with astonishing results on the golf course. Their efforts are showing real results. Isle Dauphine is truly 'Looking Good.' The course is still in winter mode. The bermuda grass has not come out yet. When the night temperatures stay above 60 degrees, the spring/summer grass should start growing.
Thank you,
Jack L. Gaines, II
